ACT NOW

A mega-dump is almost at our door!

(le français suit l’anglais)

The ministry’s evaluation of the environmental assessment for the proposed Ottawa east end dump has been released and your help is needed! The Minister of the Environment and Climate Change must decide whether or not to approve the EA. This is where YOUR help is required. It appears that some of the concerns raised by residents of the community were not addressed and that there are conflicting documented observations between experts.

The Ontario website indicates that Glen Murray is our Minister of the Environment and Climate Change and that he is quoted as saying that “Fighting climate change and working to keep our air, land, and water clean will ensure Ontario’s prosperity and quality of life for today and for future generations.”

If Glen Murray and his government are really fighting climate change and working to keep Ontario clean, then they must consider what our experts say – particularly more so since our experts do not always agree with the proponents’ experts.

We want you to write to Minister Glen Murray and ask him to reject the CRRRC proposed project (EA File 10261), or at the very least refer the proposal to a full public hearing before the Environment Review Tribunal. We want you to ask your friends and neighbours.
